Your privacy is important to us. Alliance Business Solutions values your interaction with our business, and the trust you place in us when you share your personal information. We do not sell, trade or lease your personal information under any circumstances. We limit the collection of personal information to what we need to know in order to achieve our goal of providing quality and valuable information, products and/or services.

Alliance Business Solutions complies with country privacy laws and applies industry best practices to ensure that personal information is protected. We strive to do the right thing for the people who entrust us with their personal information, and we encourage you to read this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) before using our Website. By using our Website, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy, please do not use this Website.

This Policy describes our practices regarding the privacy of information that we collect through this Website, which is hosted and operated from Canada. This Policy does not govern the collection of information by any parent, subsidiaries, sponsors or affiliated companies.

1. Information Gathered Through this Website

Alliance Business Solutions gathers two basic types of information through our Website: “Personal Information”, being information from which an individual can be identified, and “Aggregate Information,” from which an individual cannot be identified.

a. Personal Information. You are not ordinarily required to register or provide Personal Information in order to access our Website, however certain functionalities may require registration. We collect Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily provide it to us – for example, in contacting us through this Website, signing up for email updates, newsletters and announcements, answering surveys and polls, entering contests, raffles and similar promotions, and purchasing our products and/or services. Personal Information may include your contact information (such as your name, email address, postal address, and/or telephone numbers), as well as your payment information, such as credit card number and expiration date (“Payment Information”), which we collect if you wish to purchase any product or service made available through our Website (“Transaction”).

i. Server Log Files. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is carried out automatically by many websites. This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit our Website, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use the IP addresses of all Visitors to calculate Website usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Website’s servers, and to administer the Website. We may also use IP addresses to communicate or to block access by Visitors who fail to comply with our Terms of Service.

ii. Cookies. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual’s computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites, and help facilitate users’ ongoing access to and use of a particular website. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files, and only the website that transferred a particular cookie to you can read, modify or delete such cookie. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there are simple procedures in most browsers that allow you to delete existing cookies, to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to your computer. You should note, however, that declining cookies may make it difficult or impossible for you to use portions of this Website.

iii. Pixel Tags. Our Website may use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) to compile aggregate statistics about Website usage and response rates. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Website, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the e-mail has been opened.

b. Aggregate Information. When you visit and interact with this Website, Alliance Business Solutions and third parties whom we have contracted to provide services to Alliance Business Solutions, may collect anonymous information from three sources: server log files, cookies, and pixel tags.

You should carefully review the rules of each contest, raffle and promotion in which you participate through this Website, as they may contain additional important information about Alliance Business Solutions’ or a sponsor’s use of your Personal Information.
